< Psalms 148 >

1 Praise ye Yah, Praise Yahweh, out of the heavens, Praise him, in the heights;
Praise ye the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
2 Praise him, all his messengers, Praise him, all his host;
Praise him, all ye his angels! Praise him, all ye his hosts!
3 Praise him, sun and moon, Praise him, all ye stars of light;
Praise ye him, sun and moon! Praise him, all ye stars of light!
4 Praise him, O ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens;
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens! Ye waters, that are above the heavens!
5 Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for, he, commanded, and they were created;
Let them praise the name of the LORD; For he commanded, and they were created.
6 So caused he them to stand perpetually—age-abidingly, A decree, hath he given, and it passeth not beyond.
He hath also established them for ever; He hath given them a law, and they transgress it not.
7 Praise Yahweh, out of the earth, sea monsters, and all resounding deeps;
Praise the LORD from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps!
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
Fire and hail, snow and vapor; Thou tempest, that fulfillest his word!
9 Ye mountains, and all hills, fruit trees, and all cedars;
Ye mountains, and all hills! Fruit-trees, and all cedars!
10 Thou wild-beast, and all ye cattle, crawling creature, and bird of wing;
Ye wild beasts, and all cattle! Ye creeping things, and winged birds!
11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Rulers, and all judges of earth;
Ye kings, and all peoples, Princes, and all judges of the earth!
12 Young men, yea even virgins, elders, and children.
Young men and maidens, Old men and children!
13 Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for lofty is his Name alone, His splendour is over earth and heavens.
Let them praise the name of the LORD! For his name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 Therefore hath he exalted a horn for his people, a praise for all his men of lovingkindness, for the sons of Israel—a people near him, Praise ye Yah!
He exalteth the horn of his people, The glory of all his godly ones, Of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD!
